Light Up

I'll sing it one last time for you

Then we really have to go

You've been the only thing that's right

In all I've done

People might question me when I say I'm in love. And I might be wrong, but I know I've never felt like this for anyone. Scientists have tried to define love for a long time and they've realized we have a map of qualities in our mind. And these qualities come from people we've met during our lifetime.

And I can barely look at you

But every single time I do

I know we'll make it any where

Away from here

One of these qualities in my map is bird with a broken wing, as my aunt put it. Another one is funny. Another one is understanding. And one is nice. And one is emotional. And one is ...

I have some high expectations. But I want to focus on the first quality. Bird with a broken wing. Someone who wants me. Someone who has a flaw and just needs acceptance. I have a need to be needed. Someone to go with me, any where away from here.

Light up, light up

As if you have a choice

Even if you can not hear my voice

I'll be right beside you dear

Right now David is taking a walk. He told me not to worry. But I guess I love him too much, because it's a really hard thing to do. If it was up to me I'd be right beside him at all times. But I've made that mistake before, and I learn from my mistakes. I just really like him, okay? Am I allowed to really like someone?

Louder, Louder

And we'll run for our lives

I can hardly speak I understand

Why you can't raise your voice to say

To think I might not see those eyes

Makes it so hard not to cry

And as we say our long goodbyes

I nearly do

I don't know. But somehow I don't really mind appreciating my boyfriend so much that he's all I ever think about. But in this world I'm not really allowed to. We're so afraid of this love. The love where everything just.. Stops. The love where every good bye I fear is going to be the last.

Every time I say good bye I fear it's the last time I will ever see him. It's because of what he's done earlier in his life. And every breath he takes I'm grateful for.

I guess I really appreciate him.

Light up, light up

As if you have a choice

Even if you can not hear my voice

I'll be right beside you dear
